A repeated 4×4 Latin square design was conducted with eight ileal cannulated castrates to examine the effect of source of starch and fiber on nutrient balance and energy metabolism. Pigs were fed on one of the four experimental diets: Control diet (C) mainly based on cooked rice; and diets P, S and W with the inclusion of either raw potato starch, sugar beet pulp or wheat bran supplementation, ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects dietary zeolite clinoptilolite on re- productive performance, serum progesterone and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) concentra- tions in 78 Holstein Friesian (HF) cows during pregnancy lactation. were divided into two groups comprising 40 (control group; CON) 38 (CPL group) cows. To assess repro- ductive performance HF following varia...

Effect of neurotropin (NSP) was studied on the oxygen consumption and adherence capacity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes of peripheral blood. Its therapeutic doses were found not to affect the phagocytic and adherent ability of leukocytes of healthy adults. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the respiration of leukocytes ceases much earlier in the presence of NSP than in its absence in a do...

Abstract Background Shoulder stiffness is a common health issue in Japan. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people were forced to stay home which possibly escalated development of shoulder stiffness. We aimed assess associations lifestyle changes and newly developed neck pain (NSP) during pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted, analyzing data from Japan Society Internet Survey (JAC...

Abstract Rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 during pandemic enables timely treatment and prevention COVID-19. Evaluating the accuracy reliability rapid diagnostic testing kits is crucial for surveillance infections in general population, injection drug users, multi-transfused populations, healthcare workers, prisoners, barbers other high risk populations. The aim this study was to evaluate performan...

The research included 19 breeding lines and 4 cultivars of spring barley from the preliminary field experiments harvested in 2020 Radzików. All samples were characterized for content protein, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) with soluble (S-NSP) insoluble (I-NSP) fractions β-glucan. Additionally, viscosity water extracts (WEV) was measured to determine functional properties grain. It most diver...

Two N balance studies were conducted to investigate the effects of feeding graded levels of pectin (a soluble nonstarch polysaccharide, NSP) on the utilization of ileal digestible threonine (Thr; Thr study) and lysine (Lys; Lys study) intake for body protein deposition (PD) in growing pigs. In each study, eight Yorkshire barrows with an average initial BW of 17.2 +/- 1.3 (Thr study) and 14.3 +/...

Litter moisture contents vary greatly between and within practical poultry barns. The current experiment was designed to measure the effects of 8 different dietary characteristics on litter and excreta moisture content. Additionally, free water content and water activity of the excreta and litter were evaluated as additional quality measures. The dietary treatments consisted of nonstarch polysa...
